Tar & Roses Prosecco NV from King Valley is a bright, zesty sparkling that shows off Victorian freshness and an easy‑drinking, Italian‑inspired personality that’s perfect for parties, picnics and casual Fridays. This Tar & Roses Prosecco NV pours pale straw with a lively, fine bead and a soft, inviting mousse. It feels effortlessly drinkable yet nicely crisp on the finish.

Aromatically, you’re looking at green apple, grapefruit, ripe pear and a lift of white flowers, with a gentle creamy citrus note underneath. The palate is light, spritzy and refreshing, all green apple, lemon and a touch of stone fruit carried on a soft, foamy mousse. Importantly, it finishes dry and cleansing, so it never feels cloying or sweet.

Food‑wise, it’s spot on with prosciutto‑wrapped rockmelon, tempura prawns, oysters with lemon, or sushi and sashimi. It also loves salt‑and‑pepper squid, soft cheeses like burrata or young goat’s curd, and brunch dishes like smoked salmon bagels or smashed avo with feta. A seriously handy all‑rounder sparkler.
